Gov. Lincoln Chafee, center, on a recent tour of RiverzEdge Arts Project in Woonsocket, learns the art of screenprinting from assistant instructor Steve Harden, right, and instructor Thomas Engleman, left. The tour was part of the celebration of Arts and Humanities Month in Rhode Island, along with the governorâ€™s interest in the Arts Projectâ€™s record in workforce development, a public policy priority of Chafeeâ€™s. The screenprinting department at RiverzEdge grosses $100,000 from outside printing sales per year.
